I am looking for photos or plans for the car pictured on pages 103 and 132 of “Colorado Central Railroad” by Dan Abbott et al. Can anyone help?
thanks
How about scanning the picture for us. Not sure what you need.
If it is a composite box car, for example, (corrugated steel ends, wooden sides) I doubt you’ll find the steel ends in 1:20.3, if that’s the scale you want.
That’s one book I don’t have.
Ummmmmm I know where ya can get steel ends in 1:20.3…and check out Bruces OB boxcar build
I know Bruce built a composite with steel ends. I couldn’t find an OB.
Are those ends 1:20.3, Bruce?
It seems like they were 1:20…

I’m not sure what an OB is…
Wow! Always like the look of that.
That outside braced boxcar is one beautiful car… 
Great decals, too…
Dear Bruce,
Nicely done, as usual.
Dear All,
I also like Phil Creer’s wooden outside frame boxcars from Garden Railways pull-out plan #44 by Ted Stinson:
